Re: What to do about dust inside canon EFS 18-55mm lens?

First: you do nothing about dust inside the lens.  Leave it alone.  When the dust inside the lens is so thick you can't see through it, then buy a new lens.

Second: the dust in your photos is, as others have pointed out, on the sensor.  You can clean it yourself or have it professionally cleaned.  I recommend the former.  It is very easy if you read one of the many useful guides online.
